Werder mentions that Allen is looking for a similar salary to the recent contracts of veteran defensive ends like DeMarcus Ware and Julius Peppers.

According to Werder, the Cowboys are not interested at that price.

Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports reported earlier in the day that Allen is “unlikely” to sign with the Cowboys after meeting with the team Tuesday.

According to Garafolo, other teams in play for Allen who’s market is still developing.

Garafolo adds that the Seahawks are one of the teams still in play for Allen.

We’re heard a number of teams mentioned a potential options for Allen, but there hasn’t been a lot of buzz regarding anyone other than the Seahawks and Cowboys as of late. It will be interesting to see who else has in considering Allen in the coming days.

Allen is an interesting free agent now given that some teams have shown interest, but he’s reportedly unwilling to play for less than “fair value,” and would be “at peace living his life without football” if he doesn’t get the kind of compensation he’s looking for.

Allen, 31, has been an extremely productive player during his time in Minnesota, and although his 2013 season wasn’t as good as years past, he still manged to record 11.5 sacks, 52 tackles and two forced fumbles.

Jason La Canfora reports that Vikings’ free agent DE Jared Allen has “whittled down” his list of potential teams to less than five in recent days.

According to La Canfora, the Vikings are not among the options Allen is considering.

La Canfora adds that Allen is “incredibly grateful” for his time with the Vikings, but is looking to find a new team that can offer a chance of contending for a title in the near future.

Minnesota reportedly just locked up DE Everson Griffen to a five-year contract, so it appears as though the Vikings are prepared to move forward with a combination of Brian Robisonand Griffin. They could also be involved in other defensive end options as well, but they have already committed a lot of money to the position.
